Ice Angel

My 13 year old daughter, Angelique, is always so wonderful to work with. Her patience, dedication, perseverance and beauty truly inspire me! My children's faces and God's nature are my greatest inspiration. I'm also very inspired by contrasts and contradictions in patterns and composition. Imagine a crystal chandelier hanging in a old rustic and distressed barn and delicate lace curtains in the windows. In these images Angel is wearing a very thin silk and lace dress with her delicate porcelain skin exposed to the frigid cold in an ice encrusted forest. It gives an ethereal quality. You can't tell from these images but it was muddy under the ice and and the ice was melting from the trees above us so by the end of the shoot our hair was soaked. It was a challenge keeping my camera and her pointe shoes dry. Thankfully Angelique is hot natured and pretty tolerant to cold but she did have her coat to cover up with in between shots. This is my first REAL photo shoot using Adobe LightRoom to edit. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING! &lt;3 #winter#frost#ice#icestorm#sleet#snow#frostedforest#forest#ethereal#delicate#13yearsold#southcarolina
